Predict and Prevent

Epidemiological prediction to guide disease prevention

We will address the UKHSA and public health priorities through research that uses, builds upon and complements UKHSA surveillance and outbreak investigation activities. The activities include analysis of datasets (UKHSA and external), gathering data using UKHSA surveillance, measuring the social impact of control measures and integrating these in models to develop policy. We will use primary mixed-method research to address carriage of gastrointestinal pathogens and antimicrobial resistance in different groups.

 

 

Many of the researchers within this theme also work on the STEIM Study: Sexually transmitted enteric infections in men who have sex with men (MSM). For more information on this study please visit the webpage.
